This recipe came from Madison, who got it from a Jamie Oliver book. It's actually pretty fun to make: you create little pockets made of tin foil, and fill each one with a chicken breast, white wine, mushrooms, chicken broth, butter, and fresh thyme, seal it up, and stick it in the oven for about half an hour. It reminded me of going to girl scout camp, where we use to cook potatoes and things in little foil packets over a fire. This recipe wasn't a big hit in our house though! Megan and Ben said they both like more flavor/a crust on the chicken. It was also a little bland, but I think that is my fault... there was no salt or pepper in the recipe (probably because it's self-explanatory that you should add some), but I didn't. I think if I made it again and seasoned it better, it would have been a little more flavorful.
So fine recipe, but I think I would tinker with it a little bit, at least as far as adding salt or pepper! And I think it is a fun thing for people who hate to make complicated things, because it is really simple. Also, Elliot really loved it. So maybe it is a hit with kids!

I like to cook fish this way. It's nice in those little foil packets. You can add whatever you like. Easy clean up too!
Maybe it reminds of you of the wine chicken that got made all the time when you were little. Do you remember that?
Ha, I was going to say something about that wine chicken, but I didn't want to be mean. It did kind of remind me of that!
